Rain Water Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and storage of rainwater runoff for reuse on-site rather than allowing it to flow off. It involves collecting rainwater from rooftops using simple techniques like jars and pots or more complex systems like underground check dams. The collected water can be used for recharging groundwater, gardening, drinking, and irrigation. There are two main methods of rainwater harvesting - surface runoff harvesting from urban areas and rooftop harvesting where the roof acts as a catchment to collect rainwater into a storage system through pipes. Proper filtration is important to remove contaminants before using the stored water.

It also discusses the advantages of uniform water distribution and flexibility and disadvantages like high costs and sensitivity to wind.
Rain water harvesting
Rain water harvesting is the technique of collecting and storing rainwater in natural reservoirs or tanks. There are two methods of rain water harvesting - surface runoff harvesting, which collects rainwater flowing away on surfaces in urban areas, and roof top rain water harvesting, which collects rainwater falling on rooftops. Surface runoff harvesting diverts surface runoff in urban areas that would otherwise flow away and uses it for recharging.
Rain Water Harvesting
Rain water harvesing is a much needed building accessory in today's world. As the human is extracting much water from earth, so amount of usable water is decreasing. So every person must take step to harvest rain water, In that way we can save water for our future generations.

Strategies for Eliminating Irrigation Overspray and Runoff - Santa Monica, California
- 1. Office of Sustainability and the Environment Watershed Management Section 200 Santa Monica Pier, Suite C Santa Monica, CA 90401 russell.ackerman@smgov.net (310) 458-8972 ext 2 Strategies for Eliminating Irrigation Overspray and Runoff Santa Monica Municipal Code 7.16.020 and 8.108 Subpart B prohibit irrigation overspray and/or runoff onto hardscapes such as gutters, streets or alleys. Any changes to your irrigation system must be in compliance with the Green Building Ordinance – visit www.sustainablesm.org/landscape for more info Overspray -- Spray irrigation devices require frequent maintenance and adjustment to keep their spray directed where you want it. Here are five strategies for mitigating or eliminating overspray: 1. If your landscape is composed of individual plants, such as shrubs, rather than continuous groundcover like turf; convert your spray system to drip irrigation. 2. Relandscape with individual plants (one-gallon size or larger). You must convert the spray system to drip irrigation (with emitters 2 gph or less). 3. Replace the plant material with a permeable, non-living groundcover such as decomposed granite that will not require irrigation. 4. Install a buffer strip of permeable, non-living groundcover such as decomposed granite between the plant material and the hardscape. You must move the sprinkler heads inward 24 inches to the edge of the planting bed. (See drawing below) Because of the possibility of wind and misadjustment, this solution is not fool-proof. . = sprinkler 24“ MORE >>>
- 2. 5. Install a non-spray irrigation system such as ECS, SurfaceFlow, KISSS or subsurface drip. See RESOURCES below. Note that these systems may be relatively costly. Runoff results from overspray onto hardscape, application of water faster than the soil can absorb it and/or application of more water than the soil can hold. Here are some strategies for eliminating runoff: 1. If the application rate is too fast – A. Adjust your irrigation controller to apply the water in several short cycles with a soak-in period between cycles. This is especially important if the planting area is sloped. B. If your landscape is several years old, have the soil aerated. C. If your landscape is turf, have it dethatched. Your gardener should be able to do this. D. If your irrigation system is composed of sprayheads (fixed spray patterns of quarter, half and full circles) with eight-foot or greater radius, change to rotor-type nozzles. See RESOURCES below. 2. If you are applying too much – A. Adjust your irrigation controller. Use the Watering Calculator at http://www.bewaterwise.com for guidance. B. Install a weather-sensitive irrigation controller that will automatically adjust itself for weather changes. See RESOURCES below.
